This is the first time the car’s been this far back together since I’ve owned it. The body guy is still lining a few things up, and then it should be ready for more primer and some base color after masking everything off.

The body guy worked a small miracle getting the quarters squared away. Can’t wait to see this thing with some actual color on it!

The big bummer is that the urethane bumper isn’t taking the primer (not even the flex stuff Mike sold me). It’s soaking it up and cracking like a big dog… so I’m just going to order a chrome bumper for the front – it should look pretty awesome with the pewter color.

Which begs the question: why can’t a paint and body guy make the primer stick to something that’s supposed to be painted? Should I be concerned?
